Sporting entities continue 2 fail children/youth by not prioritizing their safety. The lack of transparency & half-hearted (at best) effort 2 address systemic issues mirror what we see with social media and child sexual abuse and exploitation. The whole system needs an overhaul.

Thank you Thomas Carrique Carrique, Det S/Sgt Tim Brown & all 27 Ontario Provincial ICE Strategy units for your hard work on these online child sexual exploitation investigations. Your dedication led to the safeguarding of 30 children in need of protection-incredible results!

Fantastic work by the #OPP-led Provincial ICE Strategy team in holding predators accountable and protecting children across Ontario. Their tireless efforts continue to make our communities safer.

Appalling headline from CTV News Northern Ontario. You should know better. An adult was charged with sexually assaulting a child but you chose to call it an "inappropriate sexual relationship". The way we talk about child sexual abuse matters. Try again. CTV News northernontario.ctvnews.ca/northern-ont-m…

The Phoenix 11 on Meta's response to their question submitted by Sen Lindsey Graham at January's Big Tech hearing: "We cannot emphasize enough how insufficient & irrelevant this response is to the ongoing threats & revictimization we continue to suffer." thephoenix11.com/statements/met…

It's fascinating Meta Google TikTok US X & Snap Inc. can help people in ONE province remove nudes. If they can do this in BC why not for ALL Canadians? This is why we need online regulation. Child safety efforts should apply to all Canadian children. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

You know you are out of step when pro-pedophile organizations in your country are “delighted” by this decision.thepublica.com/germany-downgr…

New study from Childlight - Global Child Safety Institute shows 300 MILLION children globally have experienced online child sexual abuse IN THE LAST YEAR. The data is clear - this is a public safety emergency. THIS is why social media platforms must be regulated to protect children. theguardian.com/society/articl…

Important presentation today to Education Ministers across Canada to advise them on harms facing children online including emerging issues with AI generated material.

Cybertip.ca processed almost 4,000 reports of deepfakes in the last 12 months. AI-generated sexually explicit images are being used to sextort youth – we have a new resource to help adults make teens aware of this online threat.

Deepfakes of teens and youth are rampant and can have such a traumatic impact on them. It feels ridiculous how easily accessible the tools to make deepfakes are. We need these companies to be regulated. We need standards put in place to protect our children.

78% increase in make/distribution of CSAM incidents, 71% increase in extortion, 24% increase in NCDII cases – harms against children online continue to climb. Big tech’s guardrails are needed more than ever.

👏👏Fantastic news from our southern neighbours! KOSA has passed the Senate and the US is one step closer to better protecting children online. Similar changes are needed in Canada ASAP.

Survivors being left to their own devices to locate CSAM on tech platforms should shock us all. Big tech isn't prioritizing preventing the upload nor the removal of this abusive material even though tools exist to do this job for them. The only way forward is gov'ts legislating.
